“Looks like you’re awake.” Anise jumped out of bed quickly and headed into the bathroom.

I growled loudly in frustration. What in the fuck?!

Anise stuck her head out the bathroom door. “Payback is a bitch, eh?”

I threw a pillow at her and she closed the door, giggling her ass off. Yeah, she’d won that round, but there was more to come.

Chapter Four

RAPHAEL

Anise has been here with me for over two weeks. I’ve taken her to see everything on her list for London. We’ve gone to a few hockey games, and I’ve shown her some non-tourist spots. She’s taken enough pictures to last her a lifetime and yet, I always find more things to show her. She hasn’t specified when she’ll be returning home and I’m in no rush for it.

We still haven’t had sex, though we’ve made out countless times. Mostly because I don’t think she’s ready to. I respect it, but my countless showers to work out my frustrations are getting old. Especially when what I want is right here next to me every night.

While we stashed away her things in the dresser and closet in the guest room, Anise spends every night tucked into my side. I have crossed no lines of her unspoken boundaries.

Her anxiety spikes when it comes to sex, and I don’t want to make her freak out any more than she has.

“Did you ever call that girl and tell her you would not go out? Or did you just stand her up?” Anise asked.

“I never called her.” I shrugged the situation off.

“What?! You cruel fucker! How could you not call and explain?”

“I’m kidding. I texted her while I was talking to you on the phone.”

“You text canceled?”

“Oui.”

“Oh no! I can’t believe you.”

“It’s better than saying nothing.”

“True, however, that’s not how you should do things.”

“I’ll do better next time.”

“You better.”

We were sitting at what was becoming Anise’s favorite café, drinking coffee and eating breakfast. Eating a full traditional English breakfast was new to her. The sausage and eggs were things she was used to, but the beans and vegetables made the meal heartier and were fresh additions. The bread wasn’t ‘toasted’, it was ‘fried’. Either way, she loved it and insisted on eating here most mornings.

“I’m ready to go when you are,” Anise said as she finished. She licked her fingers, smiling the whole while and grinning like a schoolgirl.

During her trip, we’d visited most of the well-known tourist spots. There were pictures of us in front of Big Ben, a red telephone box, and even some lesser-known places too. I had something planned for tonight that would hopefully change everything. I just hoped that she was ready.

Chapter Five

ANISE

Nervous didn’t explain how I was feeling. Raphael insisted I needed something special to wear tonight, and he’d insisted that it was so special that I wasn’t allowed to see it. He’d taken me to a shop where they stripped me down to nothing in a spacious fitting room. They robbed me of my sight with a satin blindfold as my only companion. I had a quick glimpse of the room when he’d removed my shirt and the blindfold came off. He’d quickly put it back in place and sealed the act with a chaste kiss.

“You’re so exquisite.”

As uncomfortable as I was, I blushed and fought hard not to cover my exposed skin. He was always watching me and yet, I still wasn’t used to it. Everything was already pre-selected for me to wear, but he didn’t allow me to put on my own clothes. He insisted on dressing the two of us. All I needed to do was ‘stand still and look pretty’.

“What is this, one of your sick fantasies?” I joked to ease the nervous energy.
